The tip to doing an aussie accent is not moving your tongue as much when you speak. We are very lazy people so we don't move our tongue a lot and speak in a slightly flat tone. That;s what makes it so easy for us to do other accents because we just have to move our mouths more where as everyone else has to try and move theirs less which is pretty hard.
How to Aussie 101
1. Shorten words
2. Extend vowels
3. Be lazy
4. Don't over-do-it
5. Learn the lingo (slang) we use
I think I've pretty much covered it. Anyone else wanna add anything else?

It's Arvo not afternoon

Pissed is drunk
Grog is booze
Bottle-Ois where grog is bought
Servo is where you get petrol
The thing that bothers is that if you hear "American" you understand immediately that it's someone from the US, but America consists in North America and South America, so technically speaking someone from Argentina is as American as someone from the US.
Mexico's full name could translate to Mexican United States. Or Mexican Republic.
And I guess people reffer to citizens of US because that's what u call their nationality. People from Canada are canadian, people from Mexico are mexican, people from France and french.
People from USA are americans
Hmmm...we may be on to something, here. Like maybe if you think your people are somehow excluded from or better than the rest of the human race, YOU're the one that's annoying. Not to mention potentially genocidal.
So cut the bullshit.
no, we only dislike the ones that come here illegally. they take jobs and others stay on welfare which is the money from people who earned it. anyone who is here legally is welcome. you don't have to be so ignorant
I'm sorry they take jobs? It is extremely hard for an illegal immigrant to get a job mostly because most jobs ask for verification of residence or citizenship. The jobs they do take are jobs I have never seen any other race take but Hispanics. I don't see you complaining on how these immigrants are doing the hard dangerous jobs like working under immense heat while working in the fields. Any other race us welcome to take those hobs but for some reason they don't. How are we going to take jobs of people that don't even work in that field of place. So you don't be so ignorant.

I think there's a point to both sides of this argument, but it can also be said that there are a lot of people that put a good amount of work to come live in the United States legally, and from their perspective it may seem unfair that so may people enter illegally without going through the proper channels, which can take a long time.just adding another perspective to the pot.
The same way legal immigrants go through a lot of work just to get the U.S is the same hardship and endurance illegal immigrants have to go through. They have to pay people to cross them they have to be under immense heat if they pass by the dessert and be cautious that immigration doesn't catch them. If they are caught they are brutally beaten sometimes killed kids are ripped ap art from their families. They come here illegally because there native country is dangerous. Colombia and Mexico have an immense amount of cartels. They come here out of necessity. And all.those European pioneers tecerehnically came here illegally too.
